Phoenix Garden Play Day, 28th September:

Celebrate the Mayor’s Community Weekend with us at The Phoenix Garden!

Join us on Sunday 28th September 12-5pm for our free play day, where we invite children to reclaim space in their community.

Completely child-led play with loose parts, sensory dens, a muddy zone and tons of open-ended crafts to choose from. Simply drop in and let your children explore all the different ares of the garden!

We are delighted to build on the work we have been doing with Dragon Hall at our after school club in the garden by offering this event for the entire community.
